The employees from that 35% went to the other 65% that had two employees and turned it into three. Problem... Solved? :D

Are there protections in place in either country to prevent the Indian company from simply requiring the employee to take out a loan with the company for $100,000 with a ridiculous interest rate? The Indian company won't eat the $100,000, the American company won't want to pay the increase, so the "successful" arrangement is making the employee eat it. :-(

So which of the hundreds of product lines is the market expanding? Which ones is Panasonic losing market share in? Saying they are stagnating is the massive oversimplification that shareholders/analysts make to encourage layoffs and destroy a company. "But Goldman Sachs analyst Ryo Harada wrote recently that investors are seeking a growth strategy beyond the announced reforms." That means Goldman Sachs can go fuck off - they are simply trying to destroy the company and profit from it. A 'growth strategy' from layoffs of ten thousand people.

That's one way to offset rising sea levels from global warming - drain the aquifer under the ocean to sink the floor...

Keep your kids of Roblox.
Keep your kids out of alleys.
Keep your kids out of normal places that bad actors take advantage of. That would be everywhere they can exist..... The answer isn't to hide the world from your kids. They will find the world when you aren't looking, and the world will find them. Go with them when you can, let them go alone when you can.
My kid has been playing on Roblox for years, and my limited protection has been to disable chat, turn on the age limit restrictions for games - when they turn 13 they will be able to play games rated for 13 year olds.
I said the answer isn't to hide the world from your kid, but then I won't let them watch 'squid game', even though 'everyone' at school is talking about it. (They are in 5th grade). They will be able to watch it eventually when they are older, and I assume if they really want to they will find a way to secretly watch it sooner than that. I can't control everything.

The quality of decisions most companies get from their CEO is indistinguishable from what an AI/ML would give. I'm not saying the AI is that good, I'm saying the executives are that bad. They are also the biggest opportunity for cost reduction in the company. I work in automotive, and several CEOs make around 40+ million a year. That implies that the executive board might be close to a 500 million cost to the company....

"Tech-backed nonprofit Code.org on Wednesday fired the latest salvo in its legal battle over $3 million in unpaid licensing fees for the use of Code.org's free [for non-commercial purposes] K-12 computer science curriculum by WhiteHat Jr., the learn-to-code edtech company with a controversial past that was bought for $300M in 2020 by Byju's, another edtech firm that received a $50M investment from Mark Zuckerberg's venture firm that still touts its ties to Zuckerberg on its Investors page."

That hurt to read.

Most uprated comments are tying this to Covid ending, but it is more like the number of lawsuits arguing that the app store is illegal have died down, so Apple is returning to its old ways of monopolizing the app store. pretty straight forward.

The older I get and the more I really look at things, the more they look like Uranus.

A Wrangler 4xe uses a 17kWh pack to get 22 miles, or ~30 km range. Obviously the lowest of the current PHEVs out there, but probably representative of a car converted to electric PHEV usage. Wranglers get ~20mpg, most cars don't get more than ~40 mpg, so I would ballpark realistic range for a 15kWh pack at below 60 km. Converting an older car with average aero drag, average drivetrain drag (even if it is only the wheels & maybe axles) and average tires mean it is more likely to be under 40 km, on a good day. PHEVs do a lot more than just add the motor & battery to get the range they claim. Well, besides a Wrangler. :D

Also the news; why does the news need to create digital replicas that aren't part of digital affairs? That really feels like a loophole for "news" to create "news" without repercussions.

There is a lot of "just be a parent", but a lot of being a parent isn't monitoring everything your kid does. It isn't just a lightswitch event when they turn 18 where they are independent and can handle everything the world throws at them. Part of raising a child is letting them do things themselves and making mistakes and handling it themselves. Kids need to learn to think for themselves and learn to be independent. Parenting isn't just 'everything goes through me'. Balancing letting your child be more independent as they get older, trying to monitor things along the way, is harder than most on here think. Unless you want a perpetual man-child programmer in your basement.

This isn't "If it shows up on my bill, they can list it". That really *is* that easy. The ISPs are admitting without admitting they are using illegal fees, and possibly fees they don't actually know they are charging, and don't want the public or government to find out. They have so many local sports fees and other fees, they probably haven't kept up with which ones are still legal, and practically speaking, they don't want to. Lobbying is cheaper.

...accused Meta of hiring dozens of former Twitter employees who "had and continue to have access to Twitter's trade secrets and other highly confidential information." ... and continue to have access to...
AND CONTINUE TO HAVE ACCESS TO

Why is this Meta's problem?

Australian government says after a year their law is largely successful.

It sounds like Europe has put a framework in that various countries can use to implement similar laws, like France did:

This is not an isolated event in Canada, and Google, Facebook & others will negotiate like they have in the past.
